Isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) is a rare pathology that causes acute abdomen in women, it is even less common in pediatric patients. We present a case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with abdominal pain 24 hours of evolution, the diagnosis could not be specified with cabinet methods, so the definitive diagnosis was made using a diagnostic laparoscopy. A necrotic hemorrhagic tubal cyst was found.

Background: Hypocalcemia is a common complication of total thyroidectomy; transient hypocalcemia has been reported in up to 68% of the patients.

Materials And Methods: Chart review of all patients undergoing total thyroidectomy from 2016 to 2020. Clinical, biochemical, and pathological information was registered.

Background: Use of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) in surgery is reported with decreased postoperative opioid requirements. The efficacy of LB versus standard bupivacaine injections at laparoscopic port sites during bariatric surgery is unknown.

Objectives: To determine whether there was a difference in postoperative hospital opioid requirements after port site injections of LB versus standard bupivacaine during laparoscopic bariatric surgeries.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ariel Shuchleib Cung"

  • - Ariel Shuchleib Cung's recent research focuses on diverse surgical and medical cases, highlighting rare pathologies such as isolated fallopian tube torsion in pediatric patients, as demonstrated in a case study published in August 2023.
  • - The author investigates complications following surgical procedures, notably addressing risk factors for hypocalcemia post-total thyroidectomy in a 2022 study, which emphasizes the significance of understanding patient outcomes in surgical contexts.
  • - Additionally, Cung explores pain management methods in bariatric surgery through a 2019 randomized clinical trial comparing liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine for port site injections, aiming to enhance postoperative care and reduce opioid use.
